Japan's Blanc Eyelash Salon | The Eyelash Extension Experience

On doing extensions

Being rather selective when it comes to where I do my eyelash extensions, a recent discovery of Japan's Blanc Eyelash Salon at Pavilion KL has renewed my perspective. You see, there are very few salons that offer natural yet alluring lashes, and while my lashes on its own are quite long, it is sadly lacking in volume and thus is quite sparse.

The Service

Nonetheless, I have taken chances in the past with well researched parlors, but my dissatisfaction had always remained on the one thing, which was the service. Now this is nothing bad mind you, but I mostly found that the handling of doing the lashes was either too rough or sometimes a little cold, but for the most part it was on how long the lashes would last.

You see in most experiences, the extensions would only remain up to 2.5 weeks, which in my opinion wasn't long, especially if you are a consumer paying up to RM200 each time. In addition to that, the worry of your own lashes dropping off together with it is another thing all together, so in conclusion to that, that would be a whole bulk that you may need to take into consideration.

Japan's Blanc Eyelash Salon

The seating area

So let's talk about Japan's Blanc Eyelash Salon. Located at Level 6 at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, this parlor is hard to miss with its beautiful white local, and as you walk in you are greeted with the friendliest looking staff who are more than happy to assist you with any questions that you might have.

The Lash Menu

Sitting by at the lounge outdoors, a Blanc Eyelash consultant gave me a thorough intro to the salon and on the types of lashes that they had. This consists of the different types of curls, length, thickness and designs that you might want.

As for the price range, this goes from RM170-RM400, depending on the designs you might want to try each time. They do have a more flared out dramatic type (reference D curl in the picture above) if that would suit to your preferences more, but seeing as I wanted a more natural effect, I opted for a C curl with a higher volume of length.

Indoors

After making a selection, we walked into the treatment area, and let me tell you guys that the privacy there and one of one consultation was an experience like no other. The conversation was pleasant, the seating was really comfortable and on the plus side, the light that was hung above was comfortably lit and not overly strong as you might find in some places.

Inside the parlor

Now keeping in mind that this process takes over 1.5 to 2 hours, do ensure that you make a visitation to the restroom before you start. After that, all you would need to do is to sit back, relax and let the consultant work on your lashes.

The whole practice of this was quite therapeutic and was extremely gentle. The process of it is to basically to attach the individual strands of the extension to your natural eyelashes, using a special formulated medical grade adhesive. This is done 1-2 millimeters away from the root, and thus will give your eyes a bigger, brighter and more alluring look all together.

The Post Care Process

The Products from Blanc

Once you are done, it is good to always take note of the post care for the extensions. However, the thing that is a huge plus point on Japan's Blanc Eyelash Salon is that they offer you a leaflet that you can take home to read up on how to care for your lashes for them to last longer. Nonetheless, I will be listing them down here for easier reference, so you can have a look here.

Eyelash Extensions After Care Instructions:

Do not get your eyelash extensions wet for at least 5-6 hours after the treatment.

Do not use any oil-based eye make up remover.

It's recommended to go back to touch up or refill every 2-3 weeks if possible.

The overall experience

On overall, I absolutely loved the experience and I will certainly be back for more. It is quite rare to find a service that is extremely pleasant, gentle and comprehensive and I honestly could not be more happier with it.
